I got permission to hunt and old house near Antioch College. It looked like a 1800s home. We went there this morning and nothing...no house, just dirt. Two weeks ago it was a house.
Jeff and I hunted the site till lunch time and got lots of hits...junk. I found a big Lincoln Continental emblem. Then I checked an area Jeff had just pasted and got a +79 VDI signal on my M6. I thought, what the heck, one inch deep..it will be nothing. Was I surprised. I guess the dozers must have moved it around to be that shallow: a 1941 Merc Silver dime. Yahooooo I told Jeff. He said that should have been his as he was just by there. No, no, finders weepers...lol Jeff can have the broken sun glasses I dug, heheheheh.
Later, across town, I got E-85 gas for $3.07/gal or bushel, not sure which, anyway we decided to hit an octagon church (with permission). Nothing there but around the perimeter, in the grass by the road I passed over a loud signal--a Nokia cell phone. It had just enough charge to get one number out of it. Called and connected with folks. Will set up a return plan.
I also hit around a bus stop but was told it was someone's private property. Anyway I got a quarter, a dime, and penny before Jeff ran me off. Is that true, I thought bus stop areas where public?
All told I got about $1.50 in change today as well. The worst thing is we got so busy digging we almost missed the senior lunch bunch at KFC back home. They waited for us...nice group.
